I'd guess the alternator to be honest, but you could try charging the battery at home first.

Holy crap there's alot of missing details, bud.
Like for instance, what make and model of car is it?
What's the mileage? How did it start and when is the last maintenance done?
If you can tell me those things, it'd be a great start...

Maybe the headlight fluid is low.
Your wallet is too fat.
But seriously, before you start throwing parts at it, check all your wiring connections between the battery and starter. clean your ground connections. Then recharge the battery.

I'm only going to post once more about this topic.
Make sure the connections to the battery are not loose.
Make sure any CEL's are fixed and properly diagnosed.
Check the spark plugs for abnormal colors, and replace as necessary.
Make sure to replace the spark plug wires if needed, and ignition coil too.
There's a host of other things todo so I'd search the internet for more solutions.
Also, tighten the gas cap...sometimes the car loses fuel pressure and can't regulate properly.
The more intricate things, like taking off the throttle body and cleaning it, or checking for proper spark at each plug, are reserved for more detail orientated people like mechanics, or me for instance.
You can check for vacuum leaks too, because they cause gremlins in cars...
If you don't know how to do any of these things, I highly recommend taking to someone who does.
Keeping your car running is of utmost importance I'm sure.
Hope something helped.
